    Hand pump

    Thanks guys, looks like the one-up could be a goer. I opened up the pump and cleaned it out. I added some lube to the inside. It's a little better.

    Hand pump

    Sorry for digging up an old thread, however I'm in need of a new mini pump to go on the frame. My Topeak Mountain Morph died when it got soaked on my commuter (ride a lot in the rain) I was thinking about the oneup 100cc However I would not use the cartridge carrier and mini tool (I believe it...

    High Top Shoes Clipless

    Thanks for the replies guys. I'm looking for high tops that provide support over the ankles. I can't tell you the model of my old Shimano boots. I bought them in 2008 and the model name on he tounge has long worn off. The Shimano XM9's seem to offer the same style.

    High Top Shoes Clipless

    Does anyone know any high top mtb shoes that accept spds? So far I have only found Shimano XM 9 shoes. At about $300 I was hoping there were a few more options out there.

    Help with my commuter

    I ended up getting new forks for the bike that are matched to the frame. Makes a massive difference. Bike is now much more stable and much nicer to ride.

    Help with my commuter

    Thanks guys, that's exactly what I'm experiencing with the bike. I've been riding it for about 2 months and it just feels unstable. I used to be able to ride up ramps on the Unit on my commute, I tried it with the Rove and had to jump off half way up due to have almost no control over the...

    Help with my commuter

    Thanks hifiandmtb, good idea. Just checked the geo between the 2 models: Fork length: Rove: 409 mm Unit: 470 mm Does anyone know what effect lifting the front end of the Rove by ~60mm would have of the handling of the bike?

    Help with my commuter

    Hi Guys, I recently changed the frame on my commuter from a Kona Unit to a Kona Rove. The main reason what to get rack mounts. I swapped all the parts from my Unit over to the Rove. As can be seen from the pics below, the forks from the Unit cause the front end of the Rove to sit up...

    Child seat on MTB

    My end goal is to get a child seat on the back of my bike. My bike does not have rack mounts. I've found some racks that will mount to the disc brake mount on the frame and attach to the seat post. I'm wondering if anyone has experience with these racks and do people consider them safe to...

    Shimano XC70 or XC90 shoes

    I have the XC70 shoe and am disappointed with it. I too was running a really old set of shoes that that were very loose, and the thought of custom fitting a pair of shoes appealed to me. I did not notice much difference between the XC70's pre-fitted and fitted, so unless they fit you really...
